Morgan and his contributors develop the concept of the Information
Regime as a way to understand the use, abuse, and control of
information in East Asia during the Cold War period. During the
Cold War, war itself was changing, as was statecraft. Information
emerged as the most valuable commodity, becoming the key component
of societies across the globe. This was especially true in East
Asia, where the military alliances forged in the wake of World War
II were put to the most severe of tests. These tests came in the
form of adversarial relations between the United States and the
Soviet Union, as well as pressures within their alliances, which
eventually caused the People's Republic of China to break with from
Moscow, while Japan for a time during the 1950s and 1660s seemed
poised to move away from Washington. More important than military
might, or economic influence, was the creation of "information
regimes" - swathes of territory where a paradigm, ideology, or
political arrangement were obtained. Information regimes are not
necessarily state-centric and many of the contributors to this book
focus on examples which were not so. Such a focus allows us to see
that the East Asian Cold War was not really "cold" at all, but was
the epicentre of an active, contentious birth of information as the
defining element of human interaction. This book is a valuable
resource for historians of East Asia and of developments in
information management in the twentieth century.
